The other day I wrote about how Stephen Harper had betrayed the people of Central and Eastern Canada.By shrugging off the suffering of an estimated one MILLION Canadians who lost power during that massive ice storm, and were left freezing in the dark for DAYS.Treating it like it was nothing,

Montreal Simon: Happy New Year in Harperland
Well it's hard to believe that I survived another year in Harperland. Because 2013 was such a brutal year, I sometimes wondered whether I was still living in Canada eh?But it was also the year the Con regime began to fall apart. The year their monstrous leader was mortally wounded.So
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Disastrous Decline of the Harper Regime
Well there is still a day and a half left in 2013, but it looks as if Stephen Harper is going to make after all. Crawling on all fours. With his reputation in tatters. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Great Ice Storm Mistake
This is what Toronto looked like this evening from the Island ferry. The sky clearing, the ice breaking up in the bay. Glowing in the setting sun like a city whose nightmare is over. Except for the huge chunks of ice threatening to slide off buildings and smash into the streets
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Nightmare Before Christmas
Well I finally got to screen Stephen Harper's year end interview with Global TV, and it was one of the weirdest interviews I've ever seen.And one of the most chilling. For there was Harper sitting in what looked like a set from A Christmas Story.But sounding like a character out
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Fraudulent Propaganda Video
Last night I ran this latest production from the Con Ministry of Propaganda and Disinformation, to make a point about Stephen Harper's Big Oil agenda.But tonight I thought I'd take a closer look at that ghastly ad to see what else we might learn.And I must admit I was shocked eh?Because
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Northern Gateway Scam
Well I see Stephen Harper got an early Christmas present, courtesy of the Big Oil gang at the National Energy Board. A polarizing debate over the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline heated up Thursday after an independent panel from the National Energy Board recommended the federal government approve the pipeline with conditions.Because
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Decline of the Con Regime
They say he is holed up in his bunker at Harrington Lake surrounded only by his closest advisers.The small band of PMO fanatics who never say no to anything he says, even when he's rolling on the floor biting the carpet.Or in an alarming state of total DELUSION… 2013 has been a very
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day the Con Regime Revealed its True Face
First he claimed his callous comments about hungry children were out of context, and ridiculous… Then he claimed the story wasn't accurate, and ridiculous… Then when he realized the reporter had the whole interview on tape he apologized. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Scandal that Won’t Disappear
He's gone to ground. He can't be found. He's hiding from the media. Even his Twitter feed has gone silent. He's trying to make the sordid Senate scandal disappear by disappearing himself.But even from the safety of his hideout, he's lashing out at those he considers his enemies. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rob Ford and the Day The Cons Fought Each Other
He's a bigot, a bully, a boozer, a beast. He's shaming us in the eyes of the world. Each time Ford appears in the media, it's another eerie reminder of what we've become: crude, swaggering, bungling, irrational and mendacious. We've reached that staggering moment in a brilliant horror film when
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Tubby Van Loan and the Collapse of the Con Regime
It couldn't have been a more surrealistic sight. The absurd Con House Leader Peter "Tubby" Van Loan, standing behind an absurd sign, declaring absurdly that the fall session of Parliament was a huge success.Amid calls for democratic reform from his own caucus, the Conservative government's House Leader is instead celebrating
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Great Con War on Christmas
Well I see the Cons have finally found a good way to use our Parliament eh?It may be a lousy House of Democracy, but it does make a great Christmas ornament.And it does send out a powerful message to its rabid base: there will be no War on Christmas here. Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: John Baird and the Con’s New Foreign Policy
OK. Let me be clear, as we say in Harperland. I ALWAYS thought it was a bad idea to make John Baird Foreign Minister.I couldn't help but feel that he lacked the necessary diplomatic skills. I never believed him when he declared that the Cons were human rights champions.Not after the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con War on the Canada Pension Plan
It's my nightmare vision of a Con jungle. A country full of seniors living in poverty and misery. A country where the old and the poor have no present, and the young have no future.A nightmare that became even more real today, when the Cons killed an NDP proposal to expand
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s South Africa Trip Starts Badly
Well I see Stephen Harper's trip to the Mandela funeral started off on a high note, with a macabre political version of the Mile High Club.With Harper obviously glad to leave the sordid Senate scandal behind him, and consorting with three former Prime Ministers.Even tweeting this photo of him and
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rob Ford and the Day of Revelation
Well yesterday he was looking for any camera he could find to try to keep his face in the news. But tonight he was hanging on for dear life and dodging the media, after police documents finally revealed the true heart of the Rob Ford scandal. Not just a mayor out
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Stephen Harper Getting Ready to Resign?
As I watched Stephen Harper being grilled by Tom Mulcair today I couldn't help being struck by how beaten he looked. How the fight seems to have gone out of him. At one point after slumping into his seat, he even let Paul Calandra the Con buffoon answer a question from Mulcair, something
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Michael Chong and the Canadian Revolution
Well it's not exactly the French Revolution eh? But this being Canada it's probably the closest we can get to one. Michael Chong has presented his Reform Act that would shake up our Parliament to its very foundations. Conservative MP Michael Chong today tabled the proposed reform act, a private member's
